Abstract:
Gender role attitudes have impacts on the
lives of women around the globe irrespective of being
employed or not. Women’s increasing participation in the
world of work and the revolution in gender knowledge
which considered gender as a social construction have
attracted the attention of world leaders on gender equality
and empowering women. Organisations being social
entities, prevailing gender role attitudes in respective
cultures result in reproducing gender inequality within
organizations with the use of organisational policies,
practices and relations. Literature highlights that
irrespective of the major efforts made by different
institutions such as the United Nations, prevalence of
gender role attitudes and the presence of gender inequality
in organisations are equally significant in the global North
as well as in the global South
